Tejas Rodeo Company's rodeo season continues through November. The Bulverde venue (401 Obst Road) offers weekly open pro rodeo events Saturdays from 7:30-9 p.m., followed by live music and dancing. This week's show is the Zach Brents Band. Admission costs $6-$12; ages 5 and younger get in free. Make a day of it by visiting these other spots while you're out and about.

1Tejas Steakhouse & Saloon 401 Obst Road, 830-980-2205, www.tejassteak house.com. If you're going to see the rodeo or an event at Tejas Rodeo, you need to get a freshly grilled hunk of beef at the adjacent steakhouse. Lightly pickled green beans are favorites, as are mixed drinks such as the Dirty Bulverde, a take on a dirty martini.

3Mike's in the Village 2355-3 Bulverde Road, 830-438-2747, www.mikesinthevillage.com. Chances are, you haven't experienced Texas classics like King Ranch Chicken and chiles rellenos the way that chef/owner Mike Romano elevates them.
